To these have been made. Louis Yager's
brick saloon, where the fire was checked,
has been repaired, and is in running order,
with finer fixtures than before, and with
the addition of a restaurant. Judge w. C.
Crosett has erected on the site of his former
frame Office two-story double frame build
ing, which is used as an Office and dwell
ing Next to this formerly stood a frame
stable, owned by Mrs. S. Foster. This has
been replaced by a two-story frame stable
85x44. Mrs. Foster now has one of the
best-appointed stables in the country, and
has good business. Next to the stable she
has erected comfortable frame dwelling,
in place of the one destroyed.
Thus it will be seen that not only have
the damages caused by the fire been re-
paired, but the destroyed portion of the
town is now in better condition than ever
before and the merchants are in position
to supply the wants of their customers in a
more satisfactory manner than before the
fire. They are deserving of credit for the
promptness and energy they have displayed
in recovering from grave disaster.

The fire completely destroyed the prop

GOOD SYSTEM OF wATER WORKS


Projected and the nucleus for an inland
city fully established. 1t is prophesied
that at no distant day, when the Natoma
Water and Mining Company's immense
power canal is brought into this town,
which is to be done by prison labor, al
ready contracted and paid for, Folsom will
become the manufacturing city OF this
coast. Water power can be had TO turn
the wheels of every factory in this State,
and alta price that will place all COMPETE
tive points out of the race Within twenty
miles of the business center of the State,
with the best railroad facilities, with a eli
mate noted for its healthfulness, with all
the natural advantages known 10 any other
section the future of Folsom is assured
The determination of the Prison Directors
to close down the quarries at the branch
prison at Folsom will necessitate the put
ting of the prisoners to work at once upon
this immense canal, which is destined to
make Folsom to California what Nashua
is to New Hampshire.

ial to the Picayunno from lake Provi-
dcnce, La, says: AT about 8 o'clock
this morning full sixty feet of the
bank in front of the Eton plantation
sunk gradually down into the river,
carrying with it Elton's store and most
OF its contents. The caving was com.
plete within one hour and but few OF
the plantation supplies were saved.
Mr.. Robinson, lessee, has lost a
large amount Of supplies. The
furniture and valuable effects belong
ing to General Mcmillan, stored in
the building were also lost. The
water over the bank is fully two feet
deep and there is constant apprehen
sion that the levee may drop at any
point and cause disastrous overflow

starving indians.

MILES CITY, March l2.-Great des-
titution exists among the Chcyennes
ON the Rosebud and Tongue rivers.
1t appears from what can be learned
that Agent Upshaw last fall caused
the Indian beef cattle to he taken over
to Mollol's Fork, ON the Crow reserve,
distant about thirty miles from the
Cheyenne agency, and turned loose.
The result is that nearly or quite all
OF the cattle driftcd back to their old
range III Wyoming, and even had they
not done so it would have been an i'm
possibility to have driven them weekly
to the agency owing to the depth oi
snow and the distance. This ill-ad
viSed action on the part OF Agent Up.
shaw has resulted most disastrously to
the Cheyenncs, as they have had no
beef rations for six weeks past. Agent
Upshaw, in the early part of the
month oi December, 1886, refused to
receive any more OF the flour for the
Indians on the ground that when he
wanted flour he would order it, which
act caused the freighters to be idle
during the month OF December.
After the great snow storm of January
|, Agent Upshaw found he wanted
flour, and soon learned that no flour
could bc hauled through the great
depth OF snow some sixty-iive miles.
This is another act of stupidity for
which not the faintest shadow of ~
excuse can be found and at this date
the Cheyennes will have received theic
last ration Of flour. They have had nc
beef nor flour during the past fifteer
days, and the Indians have been eat
ing their dead ponies and what little
meat they could get from the cattle
that have died from starvation near
their camps. The condition OF these
Indians calls for an immediate exam
ination and the worst feature remains
to be told. The Indian babies Of the
families below named, Young Spotted
Wolf, Brave Wolf, Strong Horne
brother, Man Bear, American Horse,
Blind Bull and two other families in
American Horses camp, have died be-
cause their mothers could not furnish
milk by reason of the want of food.

PrrTsBURG, March l4.-Since the
death of Captain Eads was announced
there has been considerable specula-
ton as to whether the great ship rail
way, of which he was the protector,
will be completed. Pittsburg parties
interested express the opinion that the
project will be carried out. The en-
gineers in charge, Colonels Andrews
and Corkell, are thoroughly compe-
tent to complete the work, and all THAI
is needed are charters from the United
States and Mexican governments.
Sufficient stock has been subscribed to
almost complete the work Independent
Of the appropriations which have here
tofore been requested. The bill before
the last Congress did not ask for an
appropriation, but simply asked that
charter be granted. The Mexican
government will be requested to grant
the company n" charter. The stock
holders are confident the request will
be promptly honored and the great

The total cost of these, including q
steamer and three barges, would be
from $l,4OO,OO0 to $2,0OOOOO. It's
calculated that II line of steamers and
u free river would save $4.OOOOOO an
nually to the farmers east OF the

itself III less than a year.
Mr.. Watson says he met with but
one man during his trip who thought
that the apparatus would not work.
Nearly all were enthusiastic over it
and this was particularly the case with
farmers, who expressed u willingness
to back it financially.
1t is proposed to construct IN ex'
detrimental steamer and u track at the

neer have given the parties interested
assurances that they can have tempor-
AIRY use of the right OF way ut that

4 LAND CASE,

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE su-
preme court to-day rendered decl-
sion in the case of Dolores del Moral
Y. Gonzales, ct al, plaintiff in error,
VS. Edward Rous, ct al, in error to cir
cult court Of United States for the
western district of Texas. This was II
suit brought by the heirs of Juan
Gonzales to recover possession Of
eleven square leagues of land in
Kinney county, Texas, alleged to have
been granted to Gonzales during his
life time by the government of Coahui-
las and Texas state of the republic of
Mexico, in the year 1928. The court
below refused to admit as evidence OF
Gonzales title so-called Testimony"
issued by Fortuna to Soto, as commits
sioner of the colony OF Rio Grande to
Juan Carlos Beales, as attorney for
Gonzales on the 18th day of April,
1923. The court held that this testi-
mony was issued without authority OF
law, and accordingly entered judgment
for defendants. This court decides
that the judgment was erroneous. 1t
is accordingly reversed and the case
remandcd for new trial.

\ steamboat hallway.

Hon. &. b. Watson returned yester-
day from Walla Walla, Weston, Pen
dleton and Centervillc, where he has
been making speeches in favor Of II
steamboat railway, with which he pro-
poses opening up the Columbia river
to navigation. A model of the steam
boat and track were shown to u News
reporter last evening. The steamer is
an amphibious affair and made to run
on land az well as in the water. The
shaft of the stearn wheel has two
wheels fitted on it OF much smaller
diameter, on the front guard are
wheels also. These are intended to be
run ON II railroad track. The wheels
on the shaft Of the stern wheel are the
driving wheels and the same motive
power turns them that operates the
paddles. The steamer runs on to the
track which extends into the water.
The front wheels arc merely intended
to support the vessel on the track.
The model was placed on small track
and climbed II grade of per cent.
without any difficulty. 1t is intended
to build a steamer of $50 tons provided
with powerful engines, and it is calcu-
lated that she will be able to tow five
barges of $50 tons each both in water
and over the tracks at the different
rapids with the greatest ease.
The railroad on which the vessels
will run need not cost much more than
an ordinary road. To open the Co
lumbia half-mile of track will be
needed at the Cascades, ten miles at
Cello and two miles at Priests Rapids.
